ISIS executes man for being Gay

In a new video purportedly released by the Islamic State titled “The Voice of Virtue in Deterring Hell,” ISIS religious police are shown implementing sharia law with stonings, executions, and beheadings in ISIS-occupied lands.

The video was released on April 6, 2016 on ISIS terrorist channels. An alternative translation of the title is “The Voice of Virtue in Deterring the Underworld.”

The video is montage of ISIS religious police carrying out sharia law, with both the destruction of Christian structures, along with “haram” things like cigarettes and alcohol, and also doling out punishments.

Punishments in the video include hand amputations for thieves, the murder of accused homosexuals with stonings, and a variety of beheadings.
